I purchased that watch for myself several months ago and love it. I just hope it holds up better than my last Eco drive did. I've got a timex that is still running on the original battery whereas the Eco drive had to have the rechargeable battery replaced after three years and the replacement died after six months.

Thanks for the concern,he's on his way (Via ambulance) to Columbia Mo. today.He is supposed to get his stints replaced tomorrow.Some kind of build-up on them and was giving him problems.He's a damn good brother-in-law!Has always put my sister first for the last 34 years

yeah it's a crap iphone pic,my bro-n-law retired from Seiko and always kept me in watches,this is the last one I got before he left.

I was just thinking about him as he is spending Christmas in the hospital with heart issues and saw this thread

You cannot ask for any more than that - I am very fond of people who are kind to my family

...well, I have skinny wrists, also, and the Nixie Watch, while obviously big, is just big enough to get everyone's notice, but is not a bother to actually wear.

The case is aluminum, and the inside is actually mostly air. The tubes are hollow, obviously, the battery is lithium, super light, and there is a tiny circuit board. The whole thing weighs just a couple ounces.

I'm in the car business and have a pilot's license, so wearing a big watch is part of the uniform. I'm used to wearing 48mm chronographs, so while the Nixie Watch is much bigger than those, it is lighter than even my Tag Heuer titanium, limited edition, Carrera Day/Date.
